The stomach Distins Acids.

These, II existent In a natural quantity. and
unvitiated by bile, play their part in the func-
tions Of digestion and assimilation. But the
artificial acid resulting from the inability OF the
stomach to convert food received by it into
sustenance, is the producer of fatulence and
heartburn, which are the most harassing
symptoms of dyspepsia The best carminatiye
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Far more effec-
tive is it than carbonate Of soda, magnesia or
other alkaline salts. These invariably weaken
the stomach without producing permanent ben

This story was originally told by
Spurgeon: A young clergyman and
his bride were invited guests at large
party given by wealthy parishioner.
III all the freshness and elegance OF the
bridal wardrobe the young wife shone
among the throng, distinguished by her
comeliness, and vivacity, and rich at
tire; and when, during the evening,
her young husband drew her aside and
whispered to her that she was the most
beautiful woman in all the company,
and that his heart was bursting with
pride and love for her, she thought her
self the happiest wife in the world.
Ten wears later the same husband and
wife were guests at the same house,
where there gathered similar gay
company. The wife of ten years ago
wore the same dress she had worn on
the previous occasion; and, of course,
il had been altered and remade, and
was old fashioned and almost shabby.
Toll, and care, and motherhood, and
pinched circumstances had taken the
roses out of her cheeks and the little
spring out of her form. She sat apart
from the crowd, oareworn and preoc-
cupied. Her small hands, roughened
with coarse toll, were ungloved, for the
minister's salary was painfully small.
A little apart, the ten-year husband
stood and looked at his wife, and as lie
observed her faded dress and weary
attitude, great sense of all her pa
tent, loving faithfulness came over his
heart.
Looking up, she caught his earnest
gaze and noticed that his eyes were
filled with tears. She rose and went
to him, her questioning eyes mutely
asked for an explanation of his emo
ton; and when he tenderly took hel
hand, and placing it on his arm, lee
her away from the crowd, and told he
how he had been thinking of her as sh'
looked ten years before, when she wa
a bride, and how much more precious
she was to him now, and how mucl
more beautiful, for all her shabby dres
and roughened hands, and how he ap
preciated all her sacrifice and patien
toll for him and their children, grea
wave of happiness filed her heart, an,
light shone in her face that gave
more than youthful beauty, and in al
that company there was not so happ
a couple as this husband and wife
their hearts and faces aglow from tin
flaming up of pure sentiment tina
transfgured, and ennobled, and glori
fled all the tolls and privations tina
| they had endured.
